The caterer contracted to feed thousands of National Guard troops providing security at the U.S. Capitol defended its food service Thursday, claiming that none of the cases of reported gastrointestinal illness among soldiers have been linked to the company. "No cases of foodborne illness can be directly tied to this vendor," said Maria Stagliano, a spokeswoman for Sardi's Catering in College Park, Maryland. The response follows a Wednesday announcement by the National Guard that at least 50 service members have been sickened with gastrointestinal issues after complaints that they were served bad food while on duty guarding the Capitol.

Follow the money trail. Who is the 'government official' responsible for awarding the contract to Sardi's Catering?

Even if they can't tie the sickness to the food, the paltry amount and selection of food was entirely unsuitable for anything but a kindergarten snack (if reports we've heard are accurate). Ramona (the Pest)

You cannot serve chicken that is still pink/raw in the center. And the chicken pieces aere not even that thick. Maria may be the programmed spokesman, but she is in deep denial or didn’t see the evidence. Let the Guard go home.

FTA: "No cases of foodborne illness can be directly tied to this vendor," said Maria Stagliano, a spokeswoman for Sardi's Catering in College Park, Maryland.” Odd wording for a “...spokeswoman...” first, the word, “vendor “—Seems like it was written by a lawyer, anticipating a complaint. I noticed the word, “directly “, too. If no, “...food borne illness...” can be tied directly to the vendor, what about the metal shavings in the troops’ food? The governors should bring the soldiers home. Now.

You know, as a former military wife, I have always been surprised by the animosity directed at military service people from just plain old citizens. So, I tend to believe that this was done on purpose and Ms. Stagliano of the catering company was surprised to be caught with her panties down. . . so to speak. Welcome to the real world, Ms. Stag.

The easiest way to solve this problem would be for the guard just to go home. Of course this will never happen as the left needs these props to show just how much they are in control. It is interesting to see the states that are providing support. All blue and they will be rewarded

Are there any McDonalds near by? Get a big'ole duece 'n half and pick up a lot of Big Macs, fries and vanilla shakes. If it's too much for the restaurant to handle, order a day or two in advance. Or, get a variety - McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Jack In the Box, etc. Heck, 7-11 microwavable bean and cheese burritos might even hit the spot.

If the food is bad, its the preparer's fault. No other explanation is possible. Maybe they need to check their employees sympathies. And pelosi does not need to inject he ugly self into this. We know what she thinks of the military. There used to be a thing called the MKT, or Mobile Kitchen Trailer. I've seen those guys make great meals for hundreds upon hundreds of troops. Too bad none of the guard units brought any of those Prime RIBS units along. They were the deployable cooks and instant heroes to us.

Migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday were photographed wearing T-shirts in support of President Biden at the San Ysidro crossing port in Tijuana, Baja California state. One apparent migrant held up a poster that read, "Biden, please let us in!" Prospective U.S. residents and progressive Democrats are hoping the new president will implement more lenient immigration policies than former President Trump, though some politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have expressed concern with Biden's use of migrant holding facilities at the border.

A politician vying to become New York City’s next mayor said the city’s defunded and understaffed police force is responsible for skyrocketing crime rates and needs to be held responsible for not solving more cases. Andrew Yang, a staunch Democrat and Universal Basic Income (UBI) supporter, said he decided to run for mayor after his failed presidential campaign last year, according to Newsweek. A cornerstone of Yang’s latest campaign focuses on skyrocketing crime rates that he claims police are simply refusing to combat.

President Joe Biden blamed former military and law enforcement officers for the growth of white supremacy in the United States during a town hall in Milwaukee on Tuesday. President Biden was asked during the Feb. 16 session how his administration would address the threat to the United States from “Americans who embrace white supremacy and conspiracies that align with it.” “It is complex, it’s wide-ranging and it’s real,” the President answered. “You may — I got involved in politics to begin with because of civil rights and opposition to white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan.”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo blasted county sheriffs who are refusing to barge into people’s homes to break up gatherings of more than 10 people, arguing that his executive order limiting the size of private gatherings is the equivalent of law. Cuomo said the sheriffs who have vowed to ignore the mandate he issued last week are “arrogant” and “frightening to democracy,” the Democrat & Chronicle reported. The governor claimed that his executive order is no different than a codified law, and that he issued it in order to force people to stop the “living room spread” of the novel coronavirus.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
